Currently - Casselberry IS the Skatepark

As summer break looms before us, we are acutely aware of this simple fact:

If your city has no skatepark, the city is the skatepark.

We've already been hearing that citizens and business owners are calling the Casselberry Police Department to report skateboarders for skating in places they deem to be "off-limits".



Once school is out, it wont be long before its happening all throughout the day across Casselberry.

We know that the kids are simply looking for a good time, being active and are being, well... kids!

Recognizing this fact, we're encouraging everyone to be cautious as they motor through the neighborhoods.

Until we provide a skatepark where the kids have a safe place to go, its our responsibility as a community to keep them safe.

Front Page News - Support a Skatepark in Casselberry

Many of the citizens of Casselberry and surrounding communities have been actively raising their voice, asking to be represented at City Hall by their City Commissioners.  Their hard work, signatures on petitions and signs in their lawn supporting the construction of a skatepark have garnered regional attention.

In a community that has everything from baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts, walking/biking trails, playgrounds, golf course and even a kayak rental program for a blueway trail, there are no skateboarding facilities.

As the City Commission does nothing significant to advance the idea, no staff studies or commissioning of a study committee, we've provided our best effort at a comprehensive proposal for a neighborhood skatepark and city wide system of skate spots leading to it.  The idea of a skatepark system would increase the potential for state funding as roadway projects are designed and completed in the future where FDOT is involved.

For now, the front page news is that our journey continues.

 
 We'll continue to push as a community until our kids get the safe place they deserve in a park.  A place where they can build a community network of their own, a place they can proudly call their Casselberry.

Be Involved at the Local Level - Skate & Advocate

The reality of local government is that only a very few people are involved in making changes for all of us.  You ca neither sit on the sidelines and worry & complain or get involved and see a difference being made.

Casselberry, Florida has no skateboarding options for the estimated 3000 skateboarders that call it home.

By being involved on the local level we're starting to see that change.

Our first accomplishment in the journey to see a Casselberry Skatepark took place at the last Casselberry City Commission Meeting.

 

Please join us in our journey towards more success and the eventual construction of the Casselberry Skatepark, we'll need your support to make it happen.

WANTED: South Casselberry Skaters

Last night, October 26, 2015, the City Commission directed City Staff to include a Skate Spot in the ongoing design of the Casselton Drive Improvement Project.

During a public workshop for the preliminary design, a resident who uses Casselton Drive daily expressed the need for a safe alternative to the street for the skaters she sees most afternoons.

While the actual construction is still over a year away, (Late 2016 - Early 2017) the time for making sure the skateboard friendly design elements make it into the final design starts now.

Wanted:  South Casselberry Skaters

We need supporters of our overall mission to bring a free skatepark to Casselberry in the southern end of our great town to step forward as ambassadors for this smaller project.

 Support a Skatepark in Casselberry

If you live in the southern end of Casselberry, you know that park amenities are non existent.  The linear park space being created is small, yet perfect for a skate dot project.

We have plenty of yard signs available, if you need one or a few, simply send us a message on Facebook: SKATE 32707 or email us from this blog.

We encourage HOA's to contact us to meet and discuss the value a skate spot will bring to the neighborhood and the Casselberry community at large.
